Family Orientation

Parents and Families are also invited to attend Family Orientation to learn more about
the programs, services and resources available here at LSU. That is why we created
a special orientation program just for families! You don’t want to miss this day full
of learning what LSU has to offer students and families during their time at LSU.

Tour the Residence Hall where your student will be living

Learn how meal plans and TigerCASH work

Be in the know about financial aid and scholarships

Meet other LSU parents and hear firsthand the advice they have for incoming families

Learn how to join the Family Association and about the events offered for families
throughout the year!

There are 12 sessions of fall freshman orientation, but not all colleges participate
in each session. It’s important for your student to select a session when his/her
intended major is offered.

Change of Major: If your student is interested in changing his/her major, please make sure this is
done before registering for orientation. Students can change majors using myLSU (my.lsu.edu
> Student Services > Application Status) or by emailing admissions@lsu.edu with his/her full legal name, date of birth, and request. If your student chose to
change your major after registering for orientation, email us at experience@lsu.edu. We can help your student sign up for an available session.

Attention: Students in Tiger Band and students participating sorority recruitment are encouraged
to select sessions 1-11.

Registration

If your student has family members interested in registering for orientation as well,
this should be indicated at the same time your student completes his/her orientation registration. Up to two family members may pre-register to attend any orientation date that your
student attends. Siblings who wish to attend Family Orientation should register in
person onsite on the day of orientation by visiting the assistance table during check-in.

*Please note: Family Orientation is a separate program from the student orientation program. While
family members and students will separate for part of the program, they will also
have the opportunity to attend select sessions together.

If your student has already completed registration and would like to edit his/her
registration to add family members, he/she should login to the myLSU account, and
select the "Edit Family Registration" button.
